Travel Health
International travel for business and leisure has increased dramatically over recent years. This expanded range of travel has increased exposure to health risks that are normally not prevalent in Canada. Exposures to illnesses such as Hepatitis A or B, travellers’ diarrhea, Malaria, and Dengue Fever can originate from water sources, insects, or carriers of local diseases, such as food handlers. Failure to keep standard Canadian immunizations current can also increase health risks.
Lifemark offers Travel Health Services with a goal of decreasing the risk of disease and preventing serious illness while enabling travellers to stay safe and healthy while out of the country.
